Although this game has some really weird weeb trash, the over all charm of the game is amazing.

I played this game so much when I was a child. It must have been 2003 when I started playing cause I had gotten the Zelda Collectors edition for the gamecube with my Gamecube which came out in 2003.

Full Review and Majora's Mask retrospective to come (maybe)

It's incredibly nostalgic for me, but the first time I actually beat this wonderful game was December 23rd, 2023. 20 years since I got the game.

First 4 worlds are easy baby mode. Not challenging and not really fun at all.
World 5 got pretty interesting to me, and I started to have fun.
I started playing this while my wife was in L&D. If anyone is wondering it was a false alarm so we just got to hang out in triage til 2:30am. Baby and mom are good!
This is my - I have a couple minutes game

I rolled credits. I don’t really care to do the special levels… we’ll see though.

This is one of the first games I've played that was both fun, and moving. Punching Nazi's will never not be fun.

I played this in the enhanced collection, but I wanted to separate each game from the collection for maintaining my backloggd.
I thought it was fun enough. Really obvious decisions that are not nuanced at all, but I can forgive that cause this came out in 2007. I don't remember having extreme dislike for anything, but also I don't remember liking anything lol

I finished this game while I was locked in a room with Covid over the thanksgiving holiday.

This game got me through a lot

I don't know man. I know a lot of people love this game, but when I was really into it I couldn't get past the whole 3-houses thing. I'd much rather play a game once and get the whole story out of it.
I stopped with this game a couple missions after the time jump.

This has been my "I'll pick this up again sometime" game. It's great, love it, but I don't have the attention span to play it for hours on end unless I don't have anything else to do.
I play it while getting medical treatment, house sitting, vacation, etc.

I need to pick this up again. I got to the dory in grey fight and it never connected for me to go out and grind for a bit. I also moved around the same time.
It's so good and joyful. Looking forward to picking it up again at some point.

My thoughts on a very specific aspect of this game's design - Running Away

I really liked this. Writing was funny, and the gameplay was fun.
My biggest issue is having to play with audio and the fact you have to kill your hands to play it.
Freaking great though.
